The original Battlefield: Bad Company was something of a sleeper on consoles, with an underwhelming singleplayer campaign and fantastic multiplayer that missed finding much of a niche. EA and DICE made sure this wasn’t the case with Bad Company 2, adding a lengthy, fun campaign with a likable cast of characters that took full advantage of the Frostbite engine’s ability to blow stuff up real good. Of course, the long-term draw of Bad Company 2 was and remains its fantastic multiplayer. While the environmental destruction is fun, it’s the class-based dynamics that really shine – they make Bad Company 2 one of the few online shooters that lets you succeed in ways that don’t involve shooting things.
